    They have obviously heard the old joke

      You told us that you knew what you voted for.

        I voted for sovereignty unlike most of Europe and most remoaners. I am very happy post brexit, it seems the government are being driven out based on their failure to manage the country rather than blaming it on the EU.

        The old joke is:

        he elderly American gentleman arrived in Paris by plane.

        At the French Customs he fumbled for his passport.

        "You 'Ave been to 'Franze' before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked

        sarcastically.

        The old gent admitted that he had been to France previously.

        "Zen, you should know enough to 'ave your passport ready for inspection."

        The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."

        "Dat is impossible! You Americans alwayz 'ave to show your passports on

        arrival in Franze!"

        The American senior gave the Frenchman a long, hard look. Then he quietly

        explained.

        "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in '44, I couldn't find

        any Frenchmen to show it to."
        Though that is not entirely fair as the free french fought like lions. Their Vichy leaders were more like mice. Guess which the EU remind me of?

              It would be good to have a one word reply thread. Yes, no, maybe, perhaps, possibly, never, unlikely, obviously....
